  • Runaround (and AI)
    Jul 29 2026

    Adelaide and Mark discuss the science fiction short story “Runaway,” written in 1941 by Isaac Asimov. They discuss Asimov’s three laws of robotics and how the story’s robot SPD-13, “Speedy” encounters a conundrum between two of the laws. They also examine how Asimov’s robot story relates to modern-day artificial intelligence.

  • The Machine Stops (and COVID Lockdowns)
    Jul 15 2026

    Adelaide and Mark discuss the short story “The Machine Stops”, written in 1909. E. M. Forster wrote “The Machine Stops” partly as a response to growing anxiety about overreliance on technology and the way modern systems can isolate people from one another. The story is also widely read as a warning against a society that worships efficiency while losing direct human connection and contact with the natural world. How timely these themes are today!
